Library Databases and RSS

All of the Computer and Information Technology presentations were really great, but this was my favorite! We learned so many practical applications for our library users and faculty members! We learned how to set up RSS feeds directly from EBSCO to our web pages or to an email address…what a valuable tool! One of the demonstrated uses was similar to a Subject Pathfinder—setting up the 5 most current articles about a specific subject—to display on a library web page! What a great idea! For example…having a pathfinder for medical research or even gardening…with the latest 5 EBSCO articles automatically updated as news becomes available…I thought this was an awesome tool!
